On the right, short gold toning with the aim of achieving a cool highlight colour while retaining reddish shadows. The desired highlight colour is achieved after just one and a half minutes in the MT10 gold toner; the shadows are not yet completely toned, but are already significantly cooler.

The sodium acetate developer produces the coolest image tone in Kallitype.
One or the other user may well have doubts about this. If the results are not as cool as expected, this is not due to the developer but to the workflow. A really cool tone is only maintained if the print does not come into contact with tap water before fixing. If the print is rinsed with tap water after the developer or the clearing bath, the image tone will be significantly warmer. It is not a question of which shade is perceived as more pleasant, but rather an advantage to know how to control the colourfulness.
For toning before fixing (platinum, palladium, gold), a rinse cycle is advisable in order not to change the property of the toner by introduced acid. For all tonings after fixing, a cooler initial print has the advantage of a higher maximum blackening. This is not decisive for successful toning, but differences in hue and saturation become apparent.

A coworker and I went to see the Valley of Fire State Park for an afternoon. The park is a 1h drive north-east of Las Vegas, Nevada. He is our star developer, who is very productive, and comes up with creative ideas. I took this shot with his Xiaomi Redmi 5 mobile phone.
I processed a photographic and a paintery HDR photo from a single mobile phone exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive feedback.

Beginners in the technique of Kallitype often ask which developer they should choose.
Only a comparison of colour and tonal values with identical exposure time. To achieve the same level of blackness with the acetate developer, the exposure time would have to be slightly longer.

Every time I come to San Francisco, there is some kind of smart-ass billboard along the highway ... "ask your developer," it says.
Ask her what? Whether Twilio is better than some other provider? Whether the cloud is here to stay? Who comes up with these crazy signs?
Fortunately, it doesn't matter very much ... by the time I come back again, this billboard will have been replaced by something else just as mysterious.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Nov 21, 2015

In early November 2015, I flew from New York to San Francisco to take a weekend street-photography workshop under the tutelage of Eric Kim. As you might expect, I took gazillions of photos; but not all of them were specifically associated with the workshop itself. On the way out to San Francisco, I took a bunch of pictures with my iPhone; and during the weekend, I took a number of photos that had little or nothing to do with street-photography per se.
I’ll upload the photos in dribs and drabs during the next several days, and let you decide which ones are sufficiently interesting to warrant a second look…
continuing to become better acquainted with this new-to-me Graflex Crown Graphic 2x3 and with working with sheet film generally. I like much about this image. Am puzzled though by thebreakdown of the surface into abstracted little tonal blocks (hinting at a Cezanne-like compartmentalization). Developer, fixer, developing process in general (temps, time, so on). The film? Ah, the many mysterious variables...
I've tested 9 programs for the purpose of processing challenging nightscapes and for preparing images for time-lapses.

My plans around Watford rapidly changed when I visited Cassiobury Park and discovered they were in the process of moving a few dinosaurs around. You know how it goes.
This was a grab shot through the car window before I parked up properly and shows a Triceratops, or at least a Homo sapiens interpretation of it, being transported in the park.
I now know that it forms part of 'Jurassic Encounters' which consists of around 50 automated dinosaurs that move their jaw and limbs and growl - it lasts from 2nd to 18th April 2022.
Despite the event name, the Triceratops did not roam the planet in the Jurassic era, coming much later in the Late Cretaceous period, and only existed about two million years prior to the Mass Extinction.

Pinhole image on Fuji Provia 100 film. The developer was expired Tetenal E-6, and images came out vague, almost non-existant. I managed to dig out some tones with my scanner.

Testing times for D96 developer, I found this guy fishing on the Blanchard River. It's rare to see the river that low and to be able to steps on the falls, it would be even more rare if that guy caught anything.
Camera: Canon A-1, 50mm f1-4.
Film: Polypan F, ISO 50, expired 2015. FPPD-96 developer, 68 Degree, 8 minutes, 30 seconds, slow but continuous agitation in the Lab Box.

"悲惨な現実を前にしても云おう。
波の音は、さざ波のような調べでないかもしれない。荒れ狂う鉛色の波の音かもしれない。
時に、孤独を直視せよ。
海原の前に一人立て。自分の夢が何であるか。海に向かって問え。
青春とは、孤独を直視することなのだ。直視の自由を得ることなのだ。大学に行くということの豊潤さを、自由の時に変えるのだ。自己が管理する時間を、ダイナミックに手中におさめよ。流れに任せて、時間の空費にうつつを抜かすな。
いかなる困難に出会おうとも、自己を直視すること以外に道はない。
いかに悲しみの涙の淵に沈もうとも、それを直視することの他に我々にすべはない。
海を見つめ、大海に出よ。
嵐にたけり狂っていても海に出よ。"
